i really have intended to wait til 6 mo to start ds2 on solids, but he's STARING at my pizza

[Tutter]

has been like this foir a few days

obsessed witrh what we're eating - can't take his eyes off it

he's either 19 or 20 weeks old

weighs a ton (remind me, should this make a diffewrence??)

waited til 22 or 23 weeks with ds1, but he never showed an interest like thisd

No, his weight makes no difference.

I found my babies were obsessed with anything I was doing at this age. But when they watched me read, I wasn't tempted to start teaching them the alphabet ...

'tis only another 6 weeks tutter, i'd try & hold out if i were you.

give him the pizza

Watching you eat is a fascination, not a sign of hunger. His weight isn't a sign of gut maturity either. I would hang off personally.

it is waitrose pizza

DS3 started doing that around the same age....we started BLW with him, if he took it, he took it (and he often did LOL), and if he didn't he didn't (not very often).

ok

better read up on aitch's blog - fancy the idea of blw this time

pizza crust in 6 weeks then...

Tutter - DS3 had morrisons pizza the other day (day before his "6 months birthday" ....and garlic bread)

Tutter - Aitch has some photos of DS3 (at 5 months (tucking in merrily ).

I came to the conclusion that if I was BLW he would only take the food if he was ready for it......and he evidently was.....oh and he LOVED his pizza the other night - ate more of that than he's eaten of anything else LOL.

QoQ

at morrisons pizza, obv

have been left home alone with boys - dh at tennios

othjerwise it would be handcrafted roast and veg, of course

• it was the fresh Morrisons pizza......does that make it fractionally better? (we don't have waitrose round these parts......not posh enough )

yes, QoQ, that is marginally more acceptable than a frozen branded pizza bought in morrisons

phew
